Gay Days (Hebrew: Hazman havarod‎) is a 2009 Israeli documentary film about the emergence of a LGBT community in Israel,[1] starring major activists in Israel's cultural life and LGBT community: Gal Uchovsky, Eytan Fox, Ellyot, Amalia Ziv, Amit Kama and others and some rare archival footage from pride events, feature films and student films.

In 1985, there were three openly gay persons in Israel.[citation needed] By 1998, there were 3,000.[citation needed] In a short period of time Israel went through a change. Director Yair Qedar documented this revolution in the newspaper, The Pink Times (הזמן הוורוד). The film uses archival materials, personal stories and Qedar's personal diary.

The television premiere was on the Israeli documentary channel yes Docu, during July 2009,[citation needed] and was shown in Keshet, the commercial TV.
